Energy, environment and people
We work together to develop evidence-based solutions to critical issues of energy and sustainability within the built environment.
Our group is dedicated to exploring the intricate interplay of energy and environmental performance in human-centric architecture and urban design.
Our collective expertise spans a wide spectrum of domains, encompassing building energy efficiency and performance, indoor air quality and health, human psychology and behaviour, urban microclimates, smart building and cities, as well as climate change adaptation and mitigation in the built environment.
